R:C-12/80
TEST 00 - Controller Select Test
Tests that the Word Mover Controller does not respond to an incorrect select address, does respond to the correct address, and INIT de-selects a selected Word Mover Controller. The correct device select address is OB4 (hex). The incorrect select addresses are those single byte addresses which have 3 or less bits high. This is derived from the fact that a 4 input AND gate performs the device selection from the address bits of the select address. Thus a select address of OFF hex would attempt to select all devices.
CONTROLLER SELECTED WITH INCORRECT ADDRESS (XX)
IFL to the select address XX hex have a resul t other than OFF hex (open bus).
CONTROLLER IS NOT SELECTED WITH CORRECT ADDRESS (B4)
IFL to the correct Word Mover Controller address (OB4 hex) gave a result of OFF hex (open bus).
INIT DOES NOT DESELECT CONTROLLER
After an INIT to the selected Word Mover Controller, IFL did not get a result of OFF hex (open bus).
TEST 01 - Testing Not Busy Flag (IFL Bit 7)
Tests that the Printer Busy Flag (IFL Bit 0) is not stuck low. Tha t the No t Busy flag (IFL Bit 7) is set before a move, reset during a move, and set again after a move. That both DVCL and INIT individually abort a move and set the Not Busy Flag.
PRINTER BUSY FLAG STUCK LOW (IFL BIT 0)
After the Word Mover has been selected, a DVCL and an INIT instruction are executed. The Word Mover is reselected and the Printer Busy flag (IFL bit 0) is found to be low. The printer cable should be disconnected at this time.
MOVE WAS NOT EXECUTED indicating no present board activity. The current vectors are examined and found to be static. SOCL (location 0822) is found to be not equal
MOVE EXCEEDED MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWANCE
The Word Mover is issued commands to move line 5 to line 15 on the
NOT BUSY (IFL BIT 7) LOW AFTER MOVE TERMINATED

SOURCE CURRENT VECTORS DID NOT INITIALIZE
The source current vectors (locations 0822 and 0823) are set 1 page before the starting vectors (locations 0820 and 0821). Commands for a move from line 5 to line 15 on the screen are executed. When the move terminates, the source current vectors are examined. If the source current vectors are not equal to the source terminating vectors (locations 0824 and 0825) plus 256 address locations, the error message is displayed.
DESTINATION CURRENT VECTORS DID NOT INITIALIZE
The destina tion current vectors (locations 0862 and 0863) are set 1 page before the starting vectors (locations 0860 and 0861). Command for a move from line 5 to line 15 on the screen are executed. Wh.n the move terminates the destination current vectors are examined. If the destination current vectors are not equal to the destination terminating vectors (locations 0864 and 0865), the error message is displayed.
MOVE EXCEEDED MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWANCE
The program times all moves in this test. Any move exceeding a period specified by the program will be aborted with DVCL and INIT instructions.
TEST 04 - Test That Every Character Can Be Moved
The source is displayed on the upper right of the screen. It consists of 17 characters. The first 16 characters are sequentially increasing, the last character is a terminating character equal to the complement of the first character. The source is moved to an empty line directly below it. The program examines the characters moved and displays their hex equivalents on the same line on the left side of the screen. If the character is moved incorrectly the hex equivalent is reversed on the screen. This process is repeated 16 times in order to display the hex equivalents for all 256 characters.
INCORRECT MOVE EXECUTED
After a move, all characters in the source and destination buffers are compared. If they are not equal, the error message is displayed.
TEST 05 - Tests That Margins Are Ignored By Move Without Wrap
A source 78 characters long is created on line 5 on the screen. The left and right margins are set at 00 and FF ini tially. Commands to move the source to line 15 are executed. If the move was executed properly, new margins are set and the move is repeated. The margins tested are shown below:
~ RIGHT
00 FF 01 7F 03 3F 07 1F OF OF 1F 07 3F 03 7F 01 FF 00
The source, except for the terminating character, is shifted once to the left after each move. The margins are marked by ".J," 0 nth e Ii n e above the destination.

After a move, all characters in the source and destination buffers are compared. If they are not equal, the error message is displayed.
TEST 06 - Tests That COM3 Command Byte Is Ignored By Move Command Without Wrap
A source 78 characters long is created on line 5 of the screen. The COM3 command byte (character locator) is 00 initially. If the command to move was executed properly, the move will be repeated with another COM3 command byte. The command byte will take on the following values: 00, 01, 03, 07, OF, 01F, 03F, 07F, and OFF hex. The source, except for the terminating character, is shifted once to the left after every move.

TEST 12 - Test Word Greater Than 64 Bytes
TEST 14 - Testing Buffer Integrity
A) A move is destination terminated after 1 character has been transferred to the destination. The destination starting vectors are made equal to the terminating vectors. The terminating vectors are increased to extend the destination buffer by 4 Jines (4 x 80)-1. The COM 3 command byte is incremented by one and another move is executed.
B) A move is source terminated after 1 word has been transferred to the destination. The source starting vectors are made equal to the terminating vectors. The terminating vectors are increased so that the destination buffer (4 lines) can be completely filled.
TEST 15 - Testing Move Terminated on Destination Address with Word Wrap
Each complete wrap in this test is composed of a series of 1 byte moves. After a character has been moved to the destination. The starting destination address is made equal to the current address and the terminating address is made equal to the current address plus one. The move is then restarted with a COM 3 command. The command byte associated with the COM3 is always equal to the position in the line where the next data byte should appear.
The margin commands are changed after each complete wrap. The right margin is incremented from 1 to 79, the left margin is incremented from 0 to 78.
The purpose of this test is to determine if al1 ECO's are properly implemented.
If all previous tests pass, the problem is very probably an improper ECO.
TEST 16 - Testing Move Terminated on Source Character with Word Wrap
Each complete wrap in this test is composed of a series of 1 byte moves: After a character has been moved to the destination, the source starting address is made equaJ to the current address. The data byte in the memory location equal to the current address plus one is placed in the source terminating character vector. The move is then restarted with a COM3 comma.nd. The command byte associated with the COM3 is always equal to the position in the line where the next data byte should appear.
The right margin command is decremented after each complete wrap from 79 to 1.

APPENDIX
TEST 17 - Testing 90-9F as Terminating Characters in Addition to 10M Commands A string of characters is placed in the source buffer. In the middle of the buffer, characters 90-9F are inserted one at a time and a move is executed. The current locations should contain the address of the control character.
TEST 18 - Testing FIFOS and Shift Registers (WRDTST Only)
This test checks the long term data retention of the FIFOS and shift registers.
The source and destination buffers are setup for 3200 bytes -each (64 bytes for the FIFO and 256 bytes for the shift register). A move with wrap is executed (LEFT MAR.=O, RIGHT MAR.=50H). The entire source buffer is read in and held for five seconds. Then, a COM3 is issued to clear the FIFO and shift registers. The data is then checked.
This test is executed twice. First with the data pattern 55H, AAH, 55H, etc. Then with the pattern AAH, 55H, AAH, etc.
If an error is found the following message will appear:
ADDRESS AAAAH IS DEFECTIVE. EXP=BBH ACT=CCH where
AAAAH = The relative address of the error. If AAAAH
=
OOOOH to 003FH the FIFO is defective. If AAAAH = 0040H to 013FH the shift register is defective.
BBH ;.-. The expected value either 55H or AAH.
CCH = The actual value read from the buffer.
Test 19 - Testing Words Less Than 6lJ Bytes Long
R:A-12/80
A word between 2 and 64 characters long is placed at the end of the line.
The right margin is set to the last character of the word. A move with wrap is performed. The word should be moved to the second line of the destination buffer.
